赤や黄色、青といった原色が筆跡を並べるように描かれています。筆触分割によって波打つ水面と光の反射があらわされた画面には、19歳の若きシニャックが受けた水辺の印象が鮮やかに甦ります。シニャックは16歳の時に見たモネの作品とその色彩に感銘を受け、彼の筆触分割や視覚混合といった技法を学びました。本作でも、川面を描くタッチなどにモネの影響が伺えます。
Primary colors such as red, yellow, and blue are painted using divided brushstrokes. The surface of the water and the reflection of light, depicted through this technique, vividly revive the impression of the waterside that the 19-year-old Signac experienced. Signac was impressed by the works and colors of Monet, which he saw at the age of 16, and learned techniques such as divided brushstrokes and optical mixing from him. In this work, the influence of Monet can be seen in the touches used to depict the surface of the river.
